Queen Bee Mode

I just had this idea: Queen Bee Mode on WipEout HD Online.

Here's the deal:

-Two Teams:Team Bee and Team Dragonfly
-One player of Team Bee gets to be Queen Bee
-Single race,10-20 laps in any track on any speed class
-Queen Bee can only use Green and Blue weapons to protect from attacks or cause damage to Team Dragonfly.
-Team Bee must escort the Queen Bee and protect it from attacks from Team Dragonfly
-If the Queen Bee is eliminated,Team Dragonfly wins
-If the Queen Bee finishes the race (No matter what position),Team Bee wins
-Queen Bee can't absorb
-Team Dragonfly can't use Missiles or Quakes
-Queen Bee uses the Harimau Fury
-Team Bee uses the Yellow Harimau skin,obtained with 4000 loyalty points)
-Team Dragonfly uses any ship,but all of them must use the same one,HD Version only(example: All from Team Two uses Icaras
-Queen Bee can use Pink weapons,as long as it doesn't hit anyone
-Queen Bee must put the ship to COMPLETE STOP if he/she fires a Pink weapon and hits someone from Team Dragonfly
-No matter how many time the Queen Bee stays on a complete stop,after it reaches 0km/h the player can start going again.

If you have any suggestions,tell me,such as something that should stay or should go.

• The number of laps which will be run are from 8 to 15.
• Team Dragonfly can use any ship they want (except Harimau) whether HD or Fury, but all must use the same chosen version (HD or Fury).
• Team Bee can use any of the two versions of Harimau, but all must use the same one; the Queen Bee only can use the Fury version of Harimau.
• Extension of the previous rule: if happens that both teams are using the Fury version, then the Queen Bee will use the HD one.

As Booney said, this game mode is based in the trust of the players, and all members have to decide which ships and version will be used for each team before the race.

So can the Queen Bee attack their own teammates? For example, they could use a Quake to get rid of a few of the enemy but accidentally hit one of their own in the process. It wouldn't be the first time that a leader has attacked their own people.

I think that if any of the Dragonflies get eliminated, then they are out of the game and must stop. Same with the ones escorting the Queen. It'd make it more interesting and balanced I think.
